Oh, btw, name me one big name QB that has ever left a team when it wasn’t the team wanting them gone or to take on lesser role?
Umm…….How about Drew Brees?

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 12:02:03 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbcprofootballtalk/?p=78367#comment-689129Mr. Mackey, leave the senseless speculation about Tom Brady’s contract status to the no talent columnists at the Boston Globe.
Anybody that follows the business of NFL football and has an IQ of 65 or better understands why Manning and Brady don’t have long-term deals right now. They also understand that they both will get them from their current teams and they are both going to be even more filthy rich than they already are.
To suggest otherwise is either shamelessly irresponsible and done only in the interest of self-promotion, or it reveals such an unfathomable lack of knowledge and insight as to make the proponent of such drivel unfit and unqualified to cover football for a living.

Makes sense to me. Brady should leave the “Team of the Decade” and go to a team that hasn’t been able to win more games than they have lost in a season during that decade. Great strategy to try to pad those Hall of Fame stats and optimize another chance at a ring – not to mention blowing a career long connection to one franchise, a dynasty, and the marketing advantages that entails.

Then you have Ted Ginn returning or playing slot. They have a pretty decent defense ran by Singletary a defensive whiz.
Moss has made his future pretty clear and New England hasn’t made any arguments that they’re going to re-sign
him.
Brady however said he likes the low profile recieving corps he once had.
This theory shouldn’t be ruled out UNLESS! New England can win a superbowl or get there this year which is highly unlikely because Baltimore has only gotten stronger and the Jets look like they pretty much bought there tickets this year. With that said order your Brady Niner Jerseys he’s going to shock the world next year.

The Patriots and Tom Brady have done NOTHING since they were busted for using a camcorder on the other teams practices before games. They SpyCammed the Steelers, Dolphins and yes we all know they did it in the one game BETWEEN both of those games.. SB36 against the Rams. Yes, ever since they were busted they have done nothing. Can you say OVERRATED unless we have a camcorder.”
….nothing except finish the season with a perfect record straight to the superbowl. Which was arguably one of the BEST games ever.
Tool…..

Didn’t you write a post today about an unsubstantiated belief that Ed Reed will miss the first six games of this season? Granted, the Baltimore Post came up with the story, but you ran it with the same amount of speculation and lack of evidence as Clayton did.
And ya know what? That’s ok. Cuz it makes for interesting reading, and it certainly is a possibility, just like Brady’s potential holdout.
Along those same lines, didn’t Mike run this utterly ridiculous claim yesterday?
“Jets: Santonio Holmes will be suspended four games to start the season, and the Jets currently are in the business of rounding up recognizable names. Owens may be willing to take a lot less money if it means playing for a high-profile team that could help launch an acting career ”
What is this statement based on? Last season, he went to Buffalo when he was in the same situation he is in now.
Again, not strongly supported by anything, but entertaining to read. Let’s just not bash a guy for doing the same thing that got you your job with PFT.

His old man did the same thing to Parcells when he was here. This type of talk is only said in front of his rich buddies at the Country Club. There is a plan in the organization to be prepared to go without him.

I can’t remember whether it was 03 or 04 every single week he picked the Pats to lose. He hates the Pats and often makes up crap to try and start BS in the team.

He has said this in articles and out loud on TV. He never even says he heard from a source or ANYTHING. He doesn’t know jack crap obviously. It’s irresponsible
” journalism” to present speculation as FACT.
My opinion has long been they will let him play out his deal then franchise him so they know the parameters of the new CBA and can work out a LT deal. This is based on NOTHING factual except a conclusion drawn from the way the Pats have conducted business in the past.
